I would also plump for RBS going Venetian Colonial with lots of pike and shot units.I like the army but no Dragoons is a turn off for me.

Absolutely, seemed like more fun

Alasdair

For those who actually need/would like to see my list... As each BG gets painted, you can see the victims on http://muchallsarmy.wordpress.com/ Managing a lurkio run rate, but not to the same quality/detail.... How does he manage to paint tartan at 15mm... Tried and failed....

Well here is mine offered up....

21 BG's split:
Foot P+S 13
Mounted/Dragoons 5
Artillery 3

Big army, Nigel.
John

Alasdair, I reckon your ally must be late Saxon /Weimerian in order that you can have the Dragoons etc but no extra foot. Hunter, thinks you have a unit of mounted carbine but this seems impossible when taking into account the years when you can have this ally configuration.

The challenge will be to bring the numbers to bear effectively against smaller and higher quality armies... So no picking on my Poor army...

Now we just wait for the official declaration by Richard

looking forward to it

cheers

Alasdair

I've no problem nudging my fellow players but it doesn't feel right to nudge the list checker/umpire. Tomorrow will be fine Richard. Hunter

I will keep you all guessing a bit longer. It certainly isn't better than the Anglo-Dutch, but I was feeling perverse. It would, however, probably win the prize for the most of something, if there was such a prize. I will leave you to guess what.

Perverse and the most of something sounds like Venetian Colonial, sounds like Richard and Nigel have sizeist issues

oh surely not

Alasdair

I have made a solemn vow never to bring Later Venetian Colonial ever again. I couldn't even make it win in a Later-Venetian-Colonial-only theme tournament

Until he sends me yet another list.

Richard, just put your foot down and tell him no more. Alternatively can I change my army too?

Your Hapsburg Austrians fine, firstly if its beating Hunters Anglo-Dutch I'm impressed and didn't it come 2nd 2 years ago

See you all soon

cheers

It certainly has won the last three games against Hunter but just seems a bit of a boring army to me after the West Sudanese. Must have something more romantic for next year.
Has Mr Avis submitted his list yet? No clues forthcoming from him.

still same list after 24 hrs (fyi- only date range changed, and i dont expect a placing, so not really in the context of the dons/alasdairs changing.) I did say pretty please

Nigel, I look forward to seeing your horde on the table but not necessarily against me , please.
John

I am looking forward to it to... Friday 6pm will be my "first practice" game with it... good job ive gone for 6 games, so I claim my two worse scores as practice games I may jump ship for Warfare from FOW EW to the FOGR.. as it means ill actually use an army in a comp ive practiced with When using Poor foot troops I have found that the re-rolling 6s has not been that a bad thing (with a GC and rear support), its the exploding on 2 bases loss as opposed to 3 in a fire fight that is the challenge.

I'm sure it'll look the dogs bollocks nigel - as john says, as long as its on someone else's table. what a monster! i see the juniors have named and shamed late lists in their sandpit. are we too civilised for that? hunter.

i may need two tables to deploy... seriously, going to try and sort movement trays for the p+s

Nigel by the way, how could you change your date?
I thought your army was the Marston Moor version which presumably can only take place in 1644.
